Does MOJO consider December 2021 albums as released this year? I only ask because it seems ridiculous to put Parker’s Forfolks on the list when he was head of two of the better jazz releases of 2022. Never understood why this happens, especially in the age of digital releases.

I hadn't listened to it in awhile but the KLO album still works for me. The tag line of "Throbbing Gristle meets Enya" was silly but it did also trigger an extended revisit of early industrial tapes over the summer. Funny how inspiration works.

The Michael Head album is great, though a little surprised to see it so high on some lists. I guess there's a lot of affection for him given his struggles with booze and heroin.

I don't agree with him about much — I'm doing a list of 20 albums for Stereogum, and the Shipp album will be on it and I'm considering the Salvant, Sorey and Turner discs, though I'm less sure about them. The Mary Halvorson album he cites as an honorable mention will definitely be on my list.

ok this alex g album is nice, he's foregrounded all his production eccentricities, at least since the last album of his i heard which was a while ago.
the late-period low comparison holds up only in a few places but i get it. i'd more directly say it's a slacker-indie take on 'hyperpop', reminds me of the fantastic dltzk album from last year. would love to hear what he'd come up with working with bj burton

like it only really delves into something that actually sounds 'hyperpop' occasionally but just the general way it hangs together is fairly reminiscent of what those sort of artists are doing
